Side Stand - Suzuki VL1500B Manual

SIDE STAND

The motorcycle has a side stand. To
place the motorcycle on the side stand,
place your right foot on the end of the
side stand and push down firmly until
the stand pivots fully through its arc and
comes to rest against it stop.
An interlock system is provided to cut
off the ignition circuit when the side
stand is down and the transmission is in
any gear other than neutral.
The side stand/ignition interlock sys-
tem works as follows:
• If the side stand is down and the
transmission is in gear, the engine
cannot be started.
• If the engine is running and the
transmission is shifted into gear with
the side stand down, the engine will
stop running.
• If the engine is running and the side
stand is put down with the transmis-
sion in gear, the engine will stop run-
ning.
